INTRODUCTION This report provides information regarding TPAPN activities for the BON’s third quarter (March – 

May) of FY 2016.  

 

CLIENT ACTIVITIES Referrals by Referral Source & Nurse Type, Graph 1, page 4. A total of 132 referrals were 

received during the 3rd quarter of FY 2016, compared to 144 nurses in the 2nd quarter. BON referrals 

were down 25% this quarter while other referrals increased as follows:  Self Referred 59% and Board 

Ordered: 9%. Non‐BON Referred remained the same at: 4%. 

 

Active Cases by Nurse Type 1st Quarter FY 2013 – 3rd Qtr. FY 2016, Graph 2, page 5. Participation from September 2012 to May 2016 demonstrates increased participation from 588 to 715 

participants, an increase of 22%.  In September 2013, the length of the TPAPN program increased from 

two‐three to three‐five years. The increased program length has resulted in an increasing number of 

active cases. This increase is expected to trigger a steady rise in number of participants.    

  Referral Outcomes by “Type”, FY 2015 – 3rd Qtr. FY 2016, Graph 3, page 6. The overall numbers for each type of referral are as follows: 

297 nurses were referred under “Board Order” to TPAPN.  Of the 297 referrals, 58% signed participation, 28% were discharged (“referred by TPAPN to BON”) to the BON and 14% are pending enrollment.  

532 nurses were referred under “BON 3rd Party referrals” to TPAPN. Of the 532 referrals, 35% signed participation agreements, 63% were discharged to the BON and 2% are pending enrollment. 

192 nurses were referred under “Direct 3rd Party referrals” to TPAPN (received by TPAPN directly, primarily from employers). Of the 192 referrals, 36% signed participation agreements, 56% were discharged to the BON and 8% are pending enrollment. 

79 nurses were referred under “Self‐referrals” to TPAPN. Of the 79 nurses, 59% signed participation while 41% were discharged to the BON and no nurses pending enrollment.  

Referral (Discharge) Types from TPAPN to BON, FY 2015 – 3rd Qtr. FY 2016, Graph 4, page 6.  This graph provides outcome data for individuals referred to TPAPN.  The majority of discharges are 

due to lack of response or enrollment by the nurse following initial contact by TPAPN.  

TPAPN Statistical Information, 3rd Qtr. FY 2016, Attachment C, page 18.    This section provides information categorized by program track and nurse type for the 3rd Quarter FY 

2016 (3/1/2016 – 5/31/2016), noting number and type of signed Participation Agreements; number of participants employed in nursing; number of participants that completed; and monitoring activities including number of drug screens requested, conducted and results of the tests.
